What is a Calendar Set?

A calendar set is a named collection of calendars. Calendar sets exist for your convenience.
For example, you might have several calendars you need to refer to frequently. Rather
than bringing them up separately, you can create a set and view all of the calendars
at once.

When creating events, you can use a calendar set to save time when defining your attendee
list. When you choose a set from the Quick Invite list, all of the calendars in the
set are added as attendees. However, the sets you create are different than the user
groups that the calendar system administrator creates. You can't search for your calendar
sets in the User Search window, but you can search for user groups created by the
calendar system administrator.

Unlike the calendars you create, which can't be deleted, when you remove a set from
your calendar sets list, the set is actually deleted. This means you can't retrieve
it and if you want it again, you will have to recreate it.

Editing a Calendar Set

To edit a calendar set you have created, complete the following procedure:

Click the Calendar Sets tab. The list of your calendar sets appears.

Click the appropriate Edit link for the set you want to edit. The Edit Calendar Set
window opens.

Make the desired changes. You can add or delete members from the list. You can also
choose, or change, the time zone this set displays in.

Creating a Calendar Set

Enter a name for your calendar set in the Set Name input box. This will be the name
you see for your calendar set.

(Optional) Select the checkbox labeled "Open set in Day View." When you display a
set from the Sets list, Comparison view is used by default unless you specify the
Day. In Comparison view, each calendar displays in a separate row. In Day view all
the calendars are merged.

Select the calendars you want to put into this new set by adding calendar IDs to the
Set Members box. For instructions on how to add calendar IDs to the Set Members box,
see Adding calendars to a set.

(Optional) Click the Time Zones tab to set a time zone for your calendar set as follows:

The list of global time zones has been broken up into three global areas for ease
of viewing: North/South America, Europe/Africa, Asia/Pacific Rim. Click the name of
the global area from which to choose a time zone.

Select the checkbox next to the time zone you want for this set.

Note: If you do not set the time zone here, the set will display using your default time
zone as set in the Options tab.

Click OK when you have completed forming the set. The Edit Calendar Set window closes and
the new set appears in your Sets list in the Calendar Sets tab.

Viewing a Calendar Set

You can view a calendar set from the Sets list in the Calendar Sets tab and from the
Current Calendar list in the View tab.

Viewing a set from the Sets List

Click the Calendar Sets tab.

Click the name of the calendar set you wish to view. You see a Comparison or Day view
of all the calendars in the selected set. Sets viewed in Comparison mode show each
calendar schedule separately. If you want to see the calendars merged, use one of
the other views.

Viewing sets from the Current Calendar List

From the View tab, click the Current Calendar pull-down menu. The list of calendars
and sets displays. Sets are listed below the list of calendars.

Select the set you want to view by clicking the name. When sets are selected this
way, the set displays in whatever view you last used. For example, if you were looking
at your own calendar in the Overview, and then selected a set to view, it would display
in the Overview rather than Comparison or Day view.

Adding a Calendar to a Set

You can add calendars to a calendar set as you create it, or to an existing set.

For a new set, click the New Set icon on the Calendar Sets tab. For an existing set,
click the Edit link next to the name of the set to which you want to add calendars.
The Edit Calendar Set window appears.

Enter the calendar ID directly into the Calendar ID field or click Search to search
for the ID.

Click Add. The name appears in the Set Members box.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you have finished forming the set. Alternately, you can
use the Quick Add pull-down menu to select calendar IDs from your Calendars list and
other sets you have already created.

Assigning a Time Zone to a Set

Calendar sets you create will automatically display in your default time zone. To
override the default and assign a time zone to the set, use the following procedure:

For a new set, click the New Set icon on the Calendar Sets tab. For an existing set,
click the Edit link next to the name of the set from which you want to remove calendars. The Edit
Calendar Set window opens.

Click the Time Zones tab. A list of global time zones has been broken up into three
areas for ease of viewing: North/South America, Europe/Africa, Asia/Pacific Rim.

Click the name of the global area from which to choose a time zone.

Click the circle next to the time zone you want for this set.

Click OK. To see a set's calendar items adjusted to the set's time zone, you must have set
the Time Zone option in the Options tab. Otherwise, the set's calendar items will
continue to be displayed adjusted to the default time zone. For instructions on setting
the Time Zone option, see Settings option.

Selecting Day View for Calendar Sets

When you open a calendar set from the Sets list in the Calendar Sets tab, the display
defaults to the Comparison view, which lists each calendar separately. If you would
like to see the set displayed with all the calendars' events and tasks merged (in
Day view), you can set that option from the Edit Calendar window. This can be done
when you create the set or at some later date.

To have a set open in Day view, use the following procedure:

For a new set, click the New Set icon on the Calendar Sets tab. For an existing set,
click the Edit link next to the name of the set whose view you want to change.

In the Edit Calendar window, select the checkbox located at the bottom left of the
window.
